RETURN OF THE WIZARD KING
THE WIZARD KING TRILOGY | BOOK ONE
After nearly eight centuries, the last wizard king seeks a return to Tralodren. But doing so requires the manipulation of a band of mercenaries oblivious to his goals.
The gladiator sold his soul for revenge. The knight's a bigot. The dwarf only cares about regaining his honor. Even the wizardess seems too bookish for anyone’s good. But they’ve all been hired by a blind seer to retrieve some forgotten knowledge long hidden away in a jungle-strangled ruin.
Get in. Get out. Get paid. At least, that’s what they thought. Instead, they uncover hidden agendas and ancient power struggles centuries in the making.
Welcome to Tralodren—a world rich in stories and lore with adventures galore.
